However much~ The trunk 41 III| linger on and cleave to life, -~ Just as the power of 42 III| build meet for thy rule of life,~ Sought after long, discovered 43 III| call him back to light and life.~ Wherefore mind too, confess 44 III| perish then, bereaved~ Of any life thereafter. And, moreover,~ 45 III| body, they can pass their life,~ Immortal, battling with 46 III| every sense which pilots life;~ And just as hand, or eye, 47 III| the cause and ground of life~ Is in the fact of their 48 III| moving in the bounds of life,~ Often the soul, now tottering 49 III| The man's last link of life. For then the mind~ And 50 III| man, and less and less of life~ In every region lingers.~ 51 III| And cross the sills of life, 'twould scarcely fit~ For 52 III| kinship to these flaws of life,~ And mind by contact with 53 III| Engender from the very start of life~ In the members and mentality, 54 III| the frame, it loses the life and sense~ It had before. 55 III| attain~ The craved flower of life, unless it be~ The body' 56 III| again~ To us the light of life were given, O yet~ That 57 III| An interposed pause of life, and wide~ Have all the 58 III| precludeth this,~ Forbidding life to him on whom might crowd~ 59 III| immortal hath ta'en the mortal life.~ ~ Hence, where thou seest 60 III| with all his roots from life~ And cast that self away, 61 III| left behind.~ For when in life one pictures to oneself~ 62 III| Wretchedly from thee all life's many guerdons,"~ But add 63 III| once falls the icy pause of life.~ This too, O often from 64 III| beweeping death?~ For if thy life aforetime and behind~ To 65 III| depart the halls,~ Laden with life? why not with mind content~ 66 III| Lavished and lost, and life is now offence,~ Why seekest 67 III| not rather make an end of life,~ Of labour? For all I may 68 III| sum~ Of the guerdons of life; yet, since thou cravest 69 III| contemning present good,~ That life has slipped away, unperfected~ 70 III| Though these, their life completed, follow thee;~ 71 III| ever;~ And in fee-simple life is given to none,~ But unto 72 III| all are ours~ Here in this life.

Of truth,~ The life of fools is Acheron on earth.~ 78 III| Epicurus went, his light of life~ Run out, the man in genius 79 III| go? -~ For whom already life's as good as dead,~ Whilst 80 III| who in sleep~ Wastest thy life - time's major part, and 81 III| sort would they live their life,~ As now so much we see 82 III| said,~ What evil lust of life is this so great~ Subdues 83 III| alarms? one fixed end~ Of life abideth for mortality;~ 84 III| ever one equal thirst of life~ Grips us agape. And doubtful ' 85 III| Awaiting us. Nor by prolonging life~ Take we the least away 86 IV| upon which do rest~ Our life and safety. For not only 87 IV| down; but even our very life~ Would straightaway collapse, 88 IV| calculations in affairs of life~ Must be askew and false, 89 IV| sure the man~ Whom, void of life, now death and earth have 90 IV| given, that we might do~ Life's own demands. All such 91 IV| therefore, which for use and life~ Have been devised, can 92 IV| nourishing~ Grows to more life with deep inveteracy,~ And 93 IV| the-behind-the-scenes of life from those~ Whom they desire 94 IV| some import~ Upon what diet life is nourished:~ For some 95 V| chief found out that plan of life~ Which now is called philosophy, 96 V| mighty darkness, moored life~ In havens so serene, in 97 V| vine-born grape,~ Though life might yet without these 98 V| From whom sweet solaces of life, afar~ Distributed o'er 99 V| seem to view a man whom life has left.~ Thus far we've 100 V| That godheads lead a long life free of care,~ If yet meanwhile 101 V| To change their former life? For rather he~ Whom old 102 V| darkling realms and woe~ Our life were lying till should dawn 103 V| wills perforce to stay~ In life, so long as fond delight 104 V| ne'er hath tasted love of life,~ And ne'er was in the count 105 V| want~ Of every help for life, when Nature first~ Hath 106 V| one for whom remains~ In life a journey through so many 107 V| Nature hath removed from life.~ Again,~ Whatever abides 108 V| OF VEGETABLE AND~ ANIMAL LIFE~ ~ And now to what remains! - 109 V| see there must~ Concur in life conditions manifold,~ If 110 V| conditions manifold,~ If life is ever by begetting life~ 111 V| life is ever by begetting life~ To forge the generations 112 V| Breathing the breath of life, the same have been~ Even 113 V| Now weak through lapsing life, do fail with age,~ Lo, 114 V| across the sky, men led a life~ After the roving habit 115 V| the sweet light of fading life behind.~ Indeed, in those 116 V| writhing pangs~ Took them from life. But not in those far times~ 117 V| change their earlier mode and life~ By fire and new devices. 118 V| Yet were man to steer~ His life by sounder reasoning, he' 119 V| opulent, might pass a quiet life -~ In vain, in vain; since, 120 V| humankind, o'er wearied with a life~ Fostered by force, was 121 V| account~ Loathed the old life fostered by force. 'Tis 122 V| of common peace to pass a life~ Composed and tranquil. 123 V| sea-gulls, searching food and life~ Amid the ocean billows 124 V| great centres of man's civic life,~ The rites whence still 125 V| would give them an eternal life,~ Because their visages 126 V| Already would they pass their life, hedged round~ By the strong 127 V| all delights~ Of finer life, poems, pictures, chiselled 128 VI| harvest, and re-ordered life,~ And decreed laws; and 129 VI| she the first that gave~ Life its sweet solaces, when 130 VI| hand for mortals, and that life,~ As far as might be, was 131 VI| anxious heart which vexed life~ Unpausingly with torments 132 VI| That godheads lead a long life free of care,~ If yet meanwhile 133 VI| form divine.~ What sort of life will follow after this~ ' 134 VI| Veriest reason may drive such life away,~ Much yet remains 135 VI| suited more~ For ends of life, by virtue of a nature,~ 136 VI| limbs~ The relics of its life. That power first strikes~ 137 VI| s very fountains, then~ Life, too, they vomit out perforce, 138 VI| As 'twere, to give new life. But, contrariwise,~ Though 139 VI| all the fences of man's life~ Began to topple. From the 140 VI| they~ Would render up the life. If any then~ Had 'scaped 141 VI| feet, would yet persist in life,~ And some there were who 142 VI| Influence of bane would twist~ Life from their members.
